Shoreline 2 review for Product Reviews

Oct. 10, 2015

Decent app. PROS: It's free. Shopify should have a built-in review engine, anyway, but it's hard to argue with free. Easy to use. Easy to install. Looks great—better, actually—on mobile. CONS Slow loading. This is not unique to this app—most Shopify apps, even the really good ones, take a few extra seconds to load. I just figure if it's Shopify native, it should load a little more quickly. We keep it at the bottom of the page so it doesn't hurt user experience too much. MISSING FEATURES Display Limits + Pagination for reviews. This is an obvious feature. We should be able to set how many reviews display at once, such that users can scroll or click to the next bunch of reviews. "Verified Buyer" badges. Most modern review engines have these. If Shopify is also the order processor, this should be the easiest thing in the world to implement. Conditional tag displays. Another easy one—if the product has no reviews, why clutter up the Collection or Product page with empty stars and a "no reviews yet" notice? Easy CSS overrides. There are already a few built into the engine (star color, border and padding, etc), but things like font sizes would be great to have at least some control over.
